I don't have a car where I live now in a city, but I admit when I think of driving I do associate many happy times driving with music. Especially long journeys. But I can see how it made space in your life for connecting with family and peace and quiet too, interesting alternate life hack Maria! I try not to stare at my phone in waiting rooms, to just sit and do nothing while people look at me like a crazy person lol. That is my tiny concession to trying to still my brain in moments that we now easily fill. Well, I do yoga and occasionally meditate but those are intentional moments of stillness. I do think it helps our brains re-charge.
